Academic Opportunities

UTC provides quality educational programs that properly prepare you with the knowledge,
business skills and professional training for managerial, professional, or entrepreneurial
opportunities. The following opportunities are available to all eligible students.

To be awarded a second degree, students must meet the following requirements:

Students are required to meet all specific requirements for the second degree.

Students with a bachelor's degree from regionally accredited college or universities
are not required to fulfill any additional general education requirements unless specified
under their second major.

In order to earn the second degree, students must complete a minimum of at least 25%
of the minimum hours required for the degree at UTC. For 120 hours, this would be
a minimum of 30 new hours at UTC. These hours are beyond their original degree requirements.

Of the minimum 25%, at least 12 hours must be earned within their major department
at UTC. These hours are beyond their original degree requirements.

A grade point average of at least 2.00 is required in these courses.

Joint Degree

Would you like to earn a Masters in Business Administration (MBA)? Do you think you have to earn an undergraduate degree in business first? Or
that it will take an additional 6, 8 or 10 years? Many students think so, but with
careful planning most students can earn their undergraduate degree and an MBA in as
little as five years. Any non-business major at UTC, can earn:

A Bachelor's degree in any non-business field

A minor in Business Administration

An MBA degree

While students majoring in business have an edge on the time-line to earning their undergraduate
degree in Business Administration and an MBA, students majoring outside of business
can meet the same goals in five years.

Non-business majors participating in the College of Business’ “Joint Degree Program”
can earn an undergraduate degree in the major of their choice, a minor in Business
Administration and an MBA in five years. Even if your selected major does not require
a minor or is already in the College of Business, you can still earn your undergraduate
degree and an MBA in as little as five years! All it takes is a little planning, lots
of motivation and UTC’s College of Business!

Working within their own undergraduate degree requirements, students will strategically
utilize their general education requirements, degree requirements and electives to
complete the Business Administration minor or take courses that will prepare them
for an MBA. Successful completion of the Business Administration minor or select business
courses may waive* some students up to 12 hours of required MBA course work.

Students are encouraged to meet with advisers under their program of study and within
the College of Business to plan out their goals as early as possible. In some cases,
students may need to request substitutions within their program or attend classes
during summer sessions to achieve the five year goal.

IF YOU ARE MAJORING IN BUSINESS:

Successful completion of their undergraduate degree may allow students majoring in
Business Administration to waive up to 12 hours of graduate course work for UTC’s
MBA program. Students majoring in Business Administration are not required to complete
a minor and are not eligible for a business minor.

Non-business majors who are required to earn a minor as part of their degree requirements
may choose to complete the Business Administration minor in preparation of the MBA
program.
